This weekend has serious outdoor energy. Think classic cars in Old Town, strawberries and sun in Loudoun, and festivals that take you from Asia to local farms in one weekend. If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to get outside and explore, this is it.
#1 Outdoor Wellness Festival (Del Ray)
Fitness, local wellness vendors, and $5 classes that give back.
This free-to-attend festival in Del Ray brings together 70+ wellness vendors plus $5 outdoor fitness classes, including yoga, boxing, pilates, and more. All class proceeds support Wilderness Kids Alexandria, a nonprofit that connects underserved youth with nature-based experiences.
Whether you're there to move, browse, or just soak up the community vibe, it’s a feel-good way to spend your Saturday.

Classic cars, live fashion, and a full Old Town takeover.
This free event turns the streets of Old Town into a living runway and open-air showroom, blending vintage cars, fashion shows, food trucks, and live music. Expect blocked-off streets, great photo ops, and a crowd that feels like a neighborhood block party.

Live music, food, and local vendors in a hidden neighborhood gem.
Tucked behind rowhomes in NW D.C., Crispus Attucks Park is hosting a laid-back community day with music, local makers, family activities, and plenty of snacks. It’s free, super local, and a great way to explore a lesser-known pocket of the city.
